Covering tracks. . .
If you can't take the heat, stay out of the debate, teddy. (not a Ted Kennedy reference)
Last night I exposed Ted Faturos, a CNN/YouTube debate questioner, as a former intern for Democrat Congresswoman from California Jane Harman. It wasn't hard to find a link between him and the Democrats, it took about 60 seconds of googling (actually I use live.com) and another 5 minutes or so to determine that they were one and the same.
This morning, it seems that Teddy has awoken to having his political affiliation exposed and his "gotcha" question shown for what it is, a partisan question designed to trick Republican candidates into disparaging the subsides for corn farmers. With the Iowa caucuses right around the corner and corn subsidies a hot topic Iowa, the question, simply put, was a setup, and a poor one at that.
I'll leave it to others to discuss the broader implications of last nights highjacking of a large portion of the debate and CNN's role as a willing accomplice. This was supposed to be a Republican debate, remember? One would think that after having the Democrat plants in the Democrat debate who tossed softballs to the candidates, CNN would have vetted the questions a bit. They obviously didn't, in fact, they went above and beyond to put a Hillary Clinton campaign steering committee member in the audience and then proceeded to give him the mike for an impromptu (not really, it was obviously rehearsed) speech on "Don't ask, don't tell".
So back to Ted.
Ted goes by the internet alias "young_chower", and last night he had a Flikr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tfaturos. This morning, after I exposed his ties to Democrat Congresswoman Jane Harman, the page is gone. Go ahead, check the link.
"young_chower" still has a profile page up at Chow.com (with a handy picture too). I'm guessing that there's not a "cover my tracks" button available to Chow.com members like there is for Flikr accounts.
So Ted, if you're reading this today, please, drop me a line, let's chat. I'm sorry you felt you had to take down that flikr page, I'm also sorry that archive.org didn't cache your page. Hmmmm. Maybe Google did, what do you think Ted?
